Railroad engineer William M. Bailey and wife Alice (Weidman) Bailey lived in this home in the early 1900s. They lived here with Mrs. Bailey’s mother, Susan Weidman.
Mr. Bailey was an engineer with the Pennsylvania Railroad. The railroad’s passenger station was nearby, on the northeast corner of North Queen and East Chestnut streets.
The house was built ca. 1910 in the American Foursquare style. It has a low-hipped roof, central dormer, and a full-width porch having scroll-cut brackets.
